A police officer claims that the proportion of accidents that occur in the daytime (versus nighttime) at a certain intersection

is 35%. To test this claim, a random sample of 500 accidents at this intersection was examined from police records it is determined that 156 accidents occurred in the daytime. The following is the setup for this hypothesis test: {H0:p=0.35Ha:p≠0.35 Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test for a proportion. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer: -1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given description, we have

Population proportion : p=0.35

Sample size : n= 500

Sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{156}{500}=0.312

Test statistic for population proportion :-

z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{0.312-0.35}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.35(1-0.35)}{500}}}\\\\=-1.78146747757\ \ \text{(Simplified)}\\\\\approx-1.78

Hence, the test statistic for this hypothesis test for a proportion= -1.78

cupoosta [38]

Answer:
We will choose the last option is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
A land surveyor places two stakes 500 ft apart and locates the midpoint between the stakes.
From the midpoint, he needs to place another stake 100 ft away that is equidistant to the two original stakes.  
Therefore, to apply the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, the land surveyor would have to identify a line that is "perpendicular to the line connecting the two stakes and going through the midpoint of the two stakes".
Therefore we will choose the last option is correct. (Answer)

There are 135 people in a sport centre. 73 people use the gym. 59 people use the swimming pool. 31 people use the track. 19 peop
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

135 in Sport centre: Total

59:swimming pool

31:track

19 both swimming and gym

16 gym and track

4 all three facilities

4 people use all three facilities, then

16 - 4 = 12 people use the gym and the track and do not use the pool;

9 - 4 = 5 people use the pool and the track and do not use the gym;

19 - 4 = 15 people use the gym and the pool and do not use the track.

At least two facilities use 4 + 12 + 5 + 15 = 36 people, 4 of them use all three facilities. Thus, the probability that a randomly selected person which uses at least two facilities, uses all the facilities is

4/36=1/9

Hope this helps!!!

Which lines are parallel if M^4 +M^5? Justify your answer.
Igoryamba
Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal, so angle 1 is the same as angle 4. That means angle 1 = angle 5 as well. 

<span>When a line intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are equal. That is, if r and s are parallel, then the angles formed when l intersects r are the same s the angles formed when l intersects s. Angle 1 = Angle 5, Angle 2 = Angle 6, and so forth. Since we know angle 1 = angle 5, so from that you can see that r and s are parallel</span>
